Tuesday June 30 post lunch

Lunch in peace under the patio.

I cleaned everything and left the table as clean as I found it.

Polpettine -Anna's courtesy, a good salad and a couple of oranges.

During Lunch I called Italy.

Simona and the boys had just arrived in Rome. I spoke to Anna -my wonderful mother in law and to the whole family.

They were all happy to be in Rome and tired for the trip.

Simona is ready to leave in a couple of days to go to UK.

She has managed to combine her professional life with her personal life.

Once the kiddos are in Rome with Anna she is going off for a tour of University seminars, visit and talks,

Our kids will enjoy their stay in Rome. A bit of an Italian vacation for them. A lot of good gelato, food, family and seaside.

From Anna's house the beach is not that far. 

In the meanwhile Simona will be going off to UK.

She will be go to Exter University to give a talk and a seminar.

Simona is going to stay at Exter University until the 4th of July.

The following day she will be going to Reading University, UK.

Over there she has a busy schedule: talk, seminar, visit to the department.

She is going to stay in Reading until  July 7,

Finally she will be leaving and returning to Rome.

From July 9th to July 21st she will be staying in Rome at home with the kiddos.

Hopefully she will be enjoying her little time off work.

I am happy she is finding the energy to move on and to do what needs to be completed for her carrier.

Simona is an accomplished Assistant Professor at Caltech University.

She recently has led a workshop on Monsoon.

Simona is really a great person and a great wife.

We all own a lot to her.

Enjoy the reading.
